Chapter 54: The Staggered Battlefield
"Mr. Carlyle," the girl in a short black skirt casually played with the red and blue blades in her hand, her cat-like eyes looked at the wolf orc standing in front of the temple gate with a little sly, and seemed to not care at all about the dozen or so guards behind him, "Lulu has always admired Mister." β
"Not only is it strong, it looks good, but it also has a righteous heart...... It's really rare in today's royal capital. β
She said earnestly, took a step forward, and there was a faint sadness on her face, without any trace of pretentiousness, which made people want to comfort her.
"Lulu would be sad if Mister died here like this. So, give up, okay?"
In the face of the girl's somewhat pitiful request, Carlyle did not mean to be moved, he just quietly raised his cavalry gun towards the two top killers who were approaching, the meaning was self-evident.
Seeing this, the man next to the girl laughed: "Lulu, I'll just say it, Carlyle won't give up." β
"Well," Lulu pretended to think for a moment, then pursed her lips slightly, like a little girl who sees a favorite toy but can't buy it back, "then...... I had to take Mr. Carlyle's heart back. β
With an innocent expression on her face but a little terrifying words, this is the strongest killer under Duke Hopus - Lulu, known as the "Collector of Internal Organs"!
The greatest hobby of this notorious teenage girl in Falkenridge is to collect the internal organs of people who have been killed by her own hands. Not only that, but she also collects different internal organs according to how much she likes her target, such as the intestines mean the least liking, the lungs and stomach are higher, and the heart ...... It undoubtedly means that this goal is her favorite.
"Looks like it's going to be a good collector's item. The man smiled and nodded, "In that case, I'll go to the temple first-"
"It's better for you to go together. Carlyle spoke without warning, his tone cold as ice, "I don't think you can take my heart alone." β
"Ahh......h
Lulu tapped her forehead in embarrassment, "Aren't we all delayed in that case?"
The next moment, Lulu's originally distressed expression changed to joy, fully showing the impermanence of a young girl: "Oops, I almost forgot that thing!"
Before she finished speaking, her left hand moved, and she saw a small object suddenly thrown out and burst directly in mid-air.
On the other side, Carlyle naturally had a premonition that Lulu's actions would definitely be detrimental to him, but it was impossible to suddenly rush over and attack - not because he cared about any demeanor, but because of the man next to Lulu.
Although he brought himself a little less of a threat than Lulu, Carlyle was sure that if he made any changes, the man would definitely be the first to strike!
Five years of training have allowed Carlyle's already mature mind to grow further. Although Carlyle understands that in today's special security forces, no one can defeat him unless Hedda and Hongyan join forces, but the two people standing opposite him at this moment are not the elite of one in a million?
It was probably the toughest battle he'd ever faced in his life, so Carlyle wouldn't take it lightly.
Before a thought could be finished, the situation on Lulu's side had changed again.
As the smoke from the explosion of that little object faded away, there was a group of people in front of herβno, a person plus a group of battle golems to be exact!
"Lulu, Fitztier, it seems that the teleportation is at the right time, and you guys are doing a good job. β
The person who appeared in the smoke was none other than the eldest prince Asaph!
"Your Highness has overdone it," said Fitztel, "and Carlyle will leave it to us, and the rest will be left to His Highness's granite puppet." β
As he spoke, he gestured to the group of guards behind Carlyle.
"I've already investigated, and there are no more guards around the temple other than these people in front of me. β
"Very good. β
Asaph smirked and waved his hand, "Give it to me!"
It seemed that this sentence directly detonated the already extremely tense atmosphere, and the next moment, the two killers, Lulu and Fitztier, attacked together and pounced on Carlyle, forcing Carlyle to get out of the way of the temple door with a few movements.
He was followed by five two-man battle golems controlled by Asaph, who seemed sluggish and bulky, but were in fact quite agile, far from being comparable to a true master like Lulu, but no less than the trained guards.
"Damn it, protect the princess!"
At this moment, these guards still did not know what was happening in the temple, and as the die-hard loyalists of Princess Bella, they all showed resolute expressions and rushed up.
At the same time, the outside of the palace was in an extremely urgent situation.
"Hopps, Tuttle, what are you doing here?!"
"Your Highness, please don't worry, we're just here to keep you safe. β
"Safe, I think it's so safe here!"
The second princess, Enid, looked at the two dukes coldly, and couldn't blame her for her anger, because not only her, but all the officials and nobles in the palace at this time were surrounded by Hopps's killer troops.
Lulu and Fitztierer were certainly Hopps's strongest men, but the Duke had been king for decades, and a secret force that was completely loyal to him was essential.
Not long ago, when witnessing the disappearance of Iroh and Bella, Hops immediately used the power of this force to directly seal off the entire palace and hold all the nobles hostage in an instant.
Not only that, but his ally, the Duke of Tuttle, also used his prestige to rebel against a large number of palace guards in one fell swoop, and in the shortest possible time, the entire palace was built into an impregnable temporary fortress.
And the sky of the royal capital has been shrouded in a large crowd of shadows - Marquis Alec is the only one who is not controlled, because he moves even faster than Iro, and by the time everyone understands what is happening, he is already under the protection of the Dragoons of the Sky Knights.
Although Alec had agreed with the two dukes on the matter of heir to the throne, he was not foolish enough to think that this would allow them to spare him.
After all, the contradictions between the three nobles have been going on for a long time, and this time for the sake of "that" plan, Alec did not hesitate to break the fragile balance, so he knew that the two dukes would definitely have to deal with him next.
Fortunately, Alec's preparation was also extremely adequate.
"Since you want to play Hoppus, I'll be with you to the end. β
Alec, who was not surrounded by the Wyvern Knight, looked at the royal capital, which had been completely under martial law, and the coldness at the corners of his mouth became more and more compelling.
As an ancient black dragon, he had to lurk as a human for so long, and was forced to compromise with several human nobles, he had long had enough of this kind of day. And now that the apparent balance has been broken, he naturally has no reason to continue to endure it.
"All members of the Sky Knights obey the order," Alec narrowed his eyes, "let the sky of the royal capital be infected with blood today!"
At the same time, the front section of the temple passage.
The duel between Meredith, Priscilla and their entourage on the one hand, Nick and Estelle, a total of six, has entered a white heat.
In just a few minutes, they had already exchanged hands like lightning, and the result was as difficult as expected.
- That's how both sides feel.
For Nick and Estelle, Priscilla's speed is exaggerated, even Nick, who has been blessed with Estelle's acceleration technique, can hardly keep up with her movements, and Meredith can easily mobilize the magic power of light, although the type of magic she can use is not as good as Estelle's, the first magician, but it surpasses the latter in depth.
Not to mention that the goblins and halfling retinue are still looking for the two of them to sneak attack.
However, on the other hand, Meredith and Priscilla are not comfortable either. Let's not talk about the silver armor with extremely high defense in Niko's body, just say that his light seals and blessing magic skills one after another are enough to make him invincible.
And since Estel can be called "first", he also has enough capital - he uses the advantage of magic breadth to combine countless tactics with his wisdom, so that their attacks are useless again and again.
Therefore, despite the fact that both sides were a combination of one fight and one method, the battle was at a stalemate.
"That's not going to work. β
After being repulsed again, Meredith whispered, "It's up to them to continue...... We have more important tasks ahead of us!"
"Well, it looks like we're going to have to show the real thing. β
Priscilla nodded and pulled a few balls from her arms.
On the other side, although Estelle couldn't see their intentions, he instinctively knew that the other party must be planning a more violent attack.
It's just that this time the other party's determination and preparation obviously exceeded his expectations.
Just as he was about to remind Nick to be more careful, a huge wave of energy instantly filled the space like a raging storm, and the terrifying pressure seemed to descend on him like a substance.
At the center of this pressure, a magic array full of dense magic patterns appeared at the feet of the two lion orcs, and the violent magic power was like a tsunami of heavenly rage crashing against the soul of Nick standing at the front, and he could even feel that he was like a boat in a storm, and he could be subverted at any time.
"What kind of magic is this?!"
Nick had no time to speak, and Estelle gripped his staff tightly, and his otherwise calm voice became rapid.
Although he knew that it was probably related to the few small balls that Priscilla had taken out, years of experience had told him that the magic was unfolding at the moment...... It's the type he hasn't been exposed to at all!
"Die, both. β
In the next second, Meredith's smile with cruel killing intent came into view.
The two of them, who knew badly, swept backwards sharply. It was only after a few dozen meters of retreat that they looked back at their original position. In an instant, their expressions froze, and their breath inadvertently became rapid.
Priscilla, who was originally standing beside Meredith, has disappeared at this moment!
The mental power is concentrated to the extreme, and Tar loves to maximize his perception, but even so, he can't perceive the exact location of the other party. It's not that you can't perceive the magic power, it's that the hall is full of wild forces with Priscilla's characteristics, and it's impossible to judge her specific location at all!
How so......
Seeing the pale faces of Meredith and his two followers, he suddenly understood the usefulness of this magic.
Concentrate the power of all four people into one person, so that it can burst out with incomparably powerful strength, and end the battle in an instant?
Estelle knew that he still underestimated the other party's heritage.
According to the current situation, Priscilla may have added a magic advantage to the original speed advantage.
It's just that now the two of them know that they can't rush forward to attack the three opposite people who have lost their combat effectiveness, and Priscilla, who doesn't know where to hide, has turned into a sharp sword hanging above their heads.
It can't go on like this!
Estelle waited anxiously, the fine sweat already inadvertently soaking his magical robes. Knowing that the situation was getting worse, he stretched out his left hand, intending to unleash a probe with all his might.
But at the same time, a sharp stream of magic suddenly erupted behind him, accompanied by a huge roar, the magic energy was violently rolled up, and in the next moment, the sound of the entire world seemed to be blocked, and a golden flame stream actually gushed out from the ground, and the terrifying storm swept towards the two of them with its wildness as if it came from hell!
